Filling door lock holes ?

I spent last evening fitting Mx5 door handles to my Fury - and I have to say I am well pleased with the result .
Except for one small problem - I dont have any door locks , so I have a hole where the lock should be
I have tied searching ebay (and the net) and so far cant find anything - any suggestions ?

Do you want door locks?
I'm using MX5 catches with a europa spares lock on my ginetta which work very well.

If it's like this one


could you put a large countersunk allen head bolt in it?


You would still see the allen hole, but you could make it a "feature"


Or superglue an engine valve in (are they available in stainless?)

Thats a thought..........but I'm sure I've seen `de-locked` cars with chrome `buttons` in place of the locks (I've just no idea where to get such things from ?)

You need a brass monkey.

Remove from warm room and place in the fridge.

What about a domed chrome bumper bolt? Or you could fit some Leds as courtesy lights.

Other option is to glue something like a grommet in there.
